GK's Book Club

August 3, 2003 |

Mr. Keillor,

Have you ever considered starting a book club like Oprah has? I'm always looking for enjoyable stories about engaging, quirky characters living in pleasant, though not necessarily predictable or interesting, lives. For some reason you come to mind as someone who could make some fine recommendations on a regular basis.

Steve,

I haven't considered it. I'm considering it right now at this very instant, and I'm weighing all the work involved—the hours of reading—against the time I have available, and I'm deciding not to.
